I wasn’t one of the 1.3 million viewers.
My wife and I are watching. We really like the show.
I’ve always made fun of my girlfriend’s detective shows, but not Private Eyes, I’m hooked especially on Cindy Sampson, now there is one SEXY WOMAN, let’s just hope this show lasts a little while, not a bad show for being Canadian.
My wife and I enjoy the scenery of our old home town The Big Smoke. It kind of makes us both home sick. Having worked in the MTPD in the late 60s and early 70s. Apart from that the show has merit with a story line that is intriguing, that a single woman owning a P. I. business is an ex cops brat who has some mystery of her father’s death. To which is slowly becoming a story line in itself as it gets mentioned more and more during other episodes. With the right amount of bickering and the occasional quick wit of both P.I.s demonstrates a growing fondness between the owner and her green newbie who seems to have a knack for reading a situation quickly. The other factor that some can relate to the fact that a ex pro hockey players life isn’t all rosy and home and family life aren’t all cracked up to be as one think it should be. Separation, divorce and a young teenager with vision impairment makes it all more real too
With the season finale coming up next week we hope it’s going to get more follow through. We were disappointed that Rookie Blue and Flashpoint didn’t get picked up again ..
